NAMErue -- RealTek RTL8150 USB to Fast Ethernet controller driver
SYNOPSISdeviceuhcideviceohcideviceusbdevicemiibusdevicerueDESCRIPTION
The rue driver provides support for USB Ethernet adapters based on the
RealTek RTL8150 USB to Fast Ethernet controller chip.
The RTL8150 contains an integrated Fast Ethernet MAC, which supports both
10 and 100Mbps speeds in either full or half duplex. Although designed
to interface with 100Mbps peripheral, the existing USB standard specifies
a maximum transfer speed of 12Mbps. Users should therefore not expect to
actually achieve 100Mbps speeds with this device.
The rue driver supports the following media types:
autoselect Enable auto selection of the media type and options. The
user can manually override the auto selected mode by adding
media options to the /etc/rc.conf file.
10baseT/UTP Set 10Mbps operation. The mediaopt option can also be used
to select either full-duplex or half-duplex modes.
100baseTX Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation. The mediaopt option
can also be used to select either full-duplex or half-duplex
modes.
The rue driver supports the following media options:
full-duplex Force full duplex operation.
half-duplex Force half duplex operation.
For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).
